WE BELIEVE:
We at Roots believe that Jews
and non-Jews are part and parcel of Israel. Furthermore, we believe:
* IN ONE GOD as
declared in the She'ma (Deuteronomy 6:4), who is Echad (a complete unity)
and eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son and God
the Holy Spirit, as written for us in Isaiah 48:16-17, Genesis 1:1, Exodus
3:6 and Ephesians 4:4-6.
* In Messiah Yeshua's Deity
as written for us in Isaiah 9:6, John 1:1-4. In His virgin birth, as written
for us in Isaiah 7:14. In His sinless life and in His atoning death, as
written for us in Isaiah 53 and in Psalm 22. In His Bodily Resurrection as
well as in His Ascension and future return to us in Power and in Glory.
* That the Bible, consisting
of the Tenach (old covenant Scriptures) and in the B'rit Chadasha (new
covenant Scriptures) ARE both inspired, infallible and authoritative Word of
God as written for us in Psalm 119:89, Proverbs 30:5-6 and 2 Timothy
3:16-17.
* In God's eternal covenant
with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. We therefore, stand and believe firmly that
Yeshua was sent by God the Father to be Lord and Savior to ALL who call upon
His name, no matter what color, creed, or nationality they represent, as we
are ALL one in Him.
* And stand in full support
with the State of Israel and the Jewish people and hold fast to the Biblical
heritage of our forefathers. Therefore as believers in Yeshua, we believe in
keeping the Seventh Day Sabbath Holy and celebrate ALL of God's feasts as
they were given to us and were commanded by God for us to celebrate.
* That faith in Yeshua is
Holy Spirit inspired and NOT man-made directed. |
